Who Should I Start? Chris Boswell or Eddy Piñeiro

Saturday, November 29, 12:52 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was quiet in last week's loss to the Chicago Bears, but he should bounce back in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Although the Bills haven't given up a ton of fantasy production to kickers, their defense has been subpar overall, allowing nearly 23 points per game. With this contest taking place in Pittsburgh, Boswell's outlook only improves. The 34-year-old has scored at least nine fantasy points in all five of his matchups at Acrisure Stadium this season and is averaging more than five additional fantasy points per game at home than on the road. The inconsistent play of the Steelers' offense caps his reliability a bit, but not enough to remove him from starting consideration. Boswell profiles as a top-10 option on Sunday.

San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for the Week 13 contest against the hosting Cleveland Browns this Sunday, according to The Athletic's Zac Jackson. Pineiro will miss another game with a right-hamstring injury. Matt Gay will kick for the team for the second straight week. The 31-year-old veteran made both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra points in his debut with the Niners in their Monday night win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. Inclement weather is scheduled for Cleveland on Sunday, so fantasy managers may want to steer clear of Gay as a streaming option at the kicker position. The 49ers have their bye in Week 14, so Pineiro might be ready to roll when the team returns to action on Sunday, Dec. 14, versus the Tennessee Titans in Week 15.
